新年願望

新年願望

        回顧過去這些年，我竟然不記得上一次的新年願望是什麽時候許下的了。隻記得小時候，每年會許下心願，諸如明年可以長高點，紅包可以多得點，交個好朋友，學習成績好，考個好大學，找個好工作zh等等，總之都是經過不斷努力可以得到的。然而工作之後似乎就不再有什麽期盼了，一則生活趨於平穩，按部就班，每年都差不多，更重要的是人長大了，知道願望就是願望，如願卻未必，不過是聊以自慰罷了。

        然而過去的2020年過於不堪回首，沒想到小小新冠卻迫使人們一年之中有四分之三的時間居於家中，眼望著窗外的大好時光飛逝，耳邊令人焦急的消息不斷傳來，心中難免生出些許希冀期盼，x所以時隔多年以後就有了2021年的新年願望，想來想去我的願望竟然是一切回歸正常， 是的，就是像從前一樣，可以正常地生活，自由地出行，自在地呼吸。我要的的確不多。

 

 

New Year Resolution 

Looking back over the past  years, I don't even remember when my last New Year's wish was made. I just remember that when I was young, I would make a wish every year. My wishes reflected my age such as growing taller next year, receiving more red envelopes, making good friends, earning high grades, entering a good university, meeting the right person,etc…, in short, the resolutions or wishes I made were achievable after working hard.  One day, I realized it seemed that there was no expectation anymore because my life stabilizes and is on the procedure step by step. Every year looks the same or similar. More importantly, when people grow up, they know that wish is just a wish, but any wish may not necessarily  come true. Wishes might just add some colors to the normal life.

However, the past year 2020 was too unbearable to look back. I did not expect that the COVID-19, this small virus could be so powerful to kill so many lives and force people to live at home three-quarters of the year. Every day I sat near the window, watching the good times outside flew by, bad news kept coming on TV. I felt sad, not just for myself but for everyone. I wish 2020 could be skipped by human beings’ memories. After so many years of not having resolution, finally I made 2021’s resolution simple: I wish nothing but everything could be back to normal.Yes, NORMALITY. I wish people could live normally, traveling and gathering freely as before. For the special year, I just want normal. Then I can breathe easily.
